This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/734,193, filed Dec. 6, 2012, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates generally to projectile devices such as crossbows, and more specifically to a trigger and safety mechanism.
Crossbows are generally known in the art. In general, a bowstring is retained in a cocked orientation by a string catch, and actuation of a trigger releases the bowstring. Desirably, a safety mechanism is provided that will prevent actuation of the trigger when the safety mechanism is engaged.
There remains a need for inventive trigger and safety designs.
A crossbow may also include a dry fire prevention mechanism, which desirably prevents a full release (e.g. dry fire snap) of the bowstring unless an arrow or bolt is positioned to be fired. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,598,829 teaches a dry fire prevention mechanism having a secondary catch arranged to catch the bowstring shortly after release from the primary catch upon trigger actuation, if an arrow is not in place. U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,200, U.S. Pat. No. 5,884,614, U.S. Pat. No. 6,802,304 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,770,567 teach further examples of crossbow trigger mechanisms.
There remains a need for inventive dry fire prevention devices that provide benefits over prior designs.
All US patents and applications and all other published documents mentioned anywhere in this application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Without limiting the scope of the invention a brief summary of some of the claimed embodiments of the invention is set forth below. Additional details of the summarized embodiments of the invention and/or additional embodiments of the invention may be found in the Detailed Description of the Invention below.
A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification is provided as well only for the purposes of complying with 37 C.F.R. 1.72. The abstract is not intended to be used for interpreting the scope of the claims.
In at least one embodiment, a crossbow trigger assembly comprises a housing, a string catch and a trigger arranged to release the string catch. A safety member is moveable between safe and fire orientations, which prevents actuation of the trigger while in the safe orientation. An arrow sensing member is moveable between first and second orientations and prevents the safety member from assuming the fire orientation when the arrow sensing member is in the first orientation.
Desirably, the arrow sensing member assumes the second orientation when an arrow is present, wherein the arrow sensing member does not prevent the safety member from assuming said fire orientation.
In at least one embodiment, a crossbow trigger assembly comprises a string catch and a trigger arranged to release the string catch. A safety member is moveable between safe and fire orientations, which prevents actuation of the trigger while in the safe orientation. An arrow sensing member is moveable between first and second orientations and prevents the safety member from assuming the fire orientation when the arrow sensing member is in the first orientation. The safety member comprises a body arranged to contact the trigger and the arrow sensing member simultaneously.
In at least one embodiment, a crossbow trigger assembly comprises a string catch and a trigger arranged to release the string catch. A safety member that comprises a single body is moveable between safe and fire orientations. The safety member prevents actuation of the trigger while in the safe orientation. An arrow sensing member comprises a single body that is moveable between first and second orientations and prevents the safety member from assuming the fire orientation when the arrow sensing member is in the first orientation. The safety member contacts the trigger and the arrow sensing member simultaneously.
These and other embodiments which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part hereof However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages and objectives obtained by its use, reference can be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof and the accompanying descriptive matter, in which there are illustrated and described various embodiments of the invention.
A detailed description of the invention is hereafter described with specific reference being made to the drawings.
While this invention may be embodied in many different forms, there are described in detail herein specific embodiments of the invention. This description is an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments illustrated.
For the purposes of this disclosure, like reference numerals in the figures shall refer to like features unless otherwise indicated.
The assembly 10 comprises a slot 60 arranged to receive a bowstring. A string catch 50 is arranged to catch and retain a bowstring in the slot 60. Desirably, the string catch 50 is moveable between first and second orientations, wherein the string catch 50 retains the bowstring while in the first orientation (e.g. cocked) and releases the bowstring while transitioning to the second orientation. In some embodiments, the string catch 50 comprises a rotatable member, for example arranged to rotate about a pivot pin 52.
Desirably, the string catch 50 interacts with the trigger 20 such that operation of the trigger 20 releases the string catch 50. Desirably, the trigger 20 is moveable between first and second positions. In some embodiments, when the trigger 20 is in its first position, it holds the string catch 50 in its first orientation (e.g. cocked). When the trigger 20 is moved to its second position, it releases the string catch 50, allowing the string catch 50 to transitioning to the second orientation and release the bowstring.
In some embodiments, the trigger 20 comprises a sear 22 arranged to contact a sear 54 (see
In some embodiments, the trigger 20 comprises a pivoting member arranged to pivot between its first and second positions, for example pivoting about a pivot pin 21.
In some embodiments, the trigger 20 comprises a biasing member 24 arranged to bias the trigger 20 toward its first position.
In some embodiments, the trigger 20 comprises an arm 26 that extends out of the housing 12. In some embodiments, a trigger 20 further comprises one or more linkages 28 and a finger portion 29, wherein actuation of the trigger 20 may be achieved by actuating the finger portion 29.
The safety 30 is located in a safety cavity 16 portion of the cavity defined in the housing 12. Desirably, the safety 30 is moveable between first (e.g. safe) and second (e.g. fire) orientations. When the safety 30 is in the first (e.g. safe) orientation, desirably the trigger 20 cannot be operated. For example, when the safety 30 is in the first (e.g. safe) orientation, the safety 30 interferes with operation of the trigger 20, retaining the trigger 20 in its first position and preventing the trigger 20 from transitioning to its second position.
In some embodiments, the safety 30 directly abuts the trigger 20. For example, the safety 30 can contact the trigger 20 unless the safety 30 is in the second (e.g. fire) orientation.
In some embodiments, the safety 30 is arranged to travel along a linear path between the first (e.g. safe) and second (e.g. fire) orientations. In some embodiments, the safety cavity 16 of the housing 12 defines guide walls 17 arranged to confine movement of the safety 30 to the linear path. In some embodiments, the guide walls 17 extend parallel to the linear path.
In some embodiments, the safety 30 comprises a handle 32 configured to extend through an aperture 72 in the housing 12. Desirably, a user of the crossbow can move the safety 30 between the first (e.g. safe) and second (e.g. fire) orientations by moving the handle 32.
In some embodiments, the safety 30 comprises a first detent 37 and a second detent 38. Desirably, the first detent 37 corresponds to the first (e.g. safe) orientation and the second detent 38 corresponds to the second (e.g. fire) orientation. The safety 30 can further comprise a detent spring 34 and a detent ball 36 (for example received in the housing 12) arranged to engage the detents 37, 38. Desirably the detent system encourages the safety 30 to be in either the first (e.g. safe) orientation or the second (e.g. fire) orientation.
The arrow sensor 40 is located in an arrow sensor cavity 18 portion of the cavity defined in the housing 12. Desirably, the arrow sensor 40 is configured to prevent firing the crossbow unless an arrow is present. Desirably, the arrow sensor 40 is moveable between first and second orientations. In some embodiments, a biasing member 44 is provided to bias the arrow sensor 40 toward its first orientation.
Desirably, in the first orientation (e.g. arrow not present), the arrow sensor 40 is positioned to interfere with operation of the safety 30 and prevent the safety 30 from assuming its second (e.g. fire) orientation. Thus, if an arrow is not present, the arrow sensor 40 will prevent trigger 20 actuation via the safety 30.
The arrow sensor 40 is configured to move into its second orientation when an arrow is placed in a position to be fired (e.g. placed into the slot 60). Moving the arrow sensor 40 into its second position provides clearance for the safety 30, and allows the safety 30 to be moved into its second (e.g. fire) orientation.
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 is arranged to travel along a linear path between the first (e.g. arrow not present) and second orientations. In some embodiments, the arrow sensor cavity 18 of the housing 12 defines guide walls 19 arranged to confine movement of the arrow sensor 40 to the linear path. In some embodiments, the guide walls 19 extend parallel to the linear path.
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 comprises one or more tabs 42, wherein each tab 42 is arranged to move within a guide channel 74 defined in the housing. For example, the arrow sensor cavity 18 of the housing 12 can define a guide channel 74. In some embodiments, the housing 12 comprises an aperture 75, and a tab 42 extends through the aperture 75. This allows a user to visually verify whether the arrow sensor 40 is in the first or second orientation. In some embodiments, an aperture 75 comprises a guide channel 74.
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 comprises one or more protrusions 48, wherein each protrusion 48 is received in a portion of the arrow sensor cavity 18. In some embodiments, one or more portions of a protrusion 48 contact one or more walls that define the arrow sensor cavity 18 to limit movement of the arrow sensor 40.
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 comprises a guide channel 46. Desirably, the guide channel 46 is aligned with an arrow firing axis, such that the guide channel 46 encourages proper placement of an arrow. For example, as shown in
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 is arranged to pivot between the first and second orientations, for example rotating about a pivot axis 45, such as a pivot pin received in the housing 12.
In some embodiments, a handle 32 of the safety 30 extends out of the housing 12 in a rearward direction, for example exiting the housing 12 on the opposite side of the slot 60.
In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 comprises a unitary body member. In some embodiments, the arrow sensor 40 is formed from a single piece of material. In some embodiments, the unitary body arrow sensor 40 is arranged to directly contact an arrow positioned to be fired.
In some embodiments, the safety 30 comprises a unitary body member. In some embodiments, the safety 30 is formed from a single piece of material. In some embodiments, the unitary body safety 30 is arranged to directly contact the trigger 20 and also to directly contact the arrow sensor 40 simultaneously. In some embodiments, the unitary body safety 30 is arranged to directly contact a portion of the trigger 20 that comprises the sear 22, and also to directly contact the arrow sensor 40 simultaneously.
The trigger assemblies 10 and various components thereof can be formed from any suitable materials, such as metals, composites, plastics having suitable strength, various combinations thereof, etc.
The above disclosure is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive. This description will suggest many variations and alternatives to one of ordinary skill in this field of art. All these alternatives and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the claims where the term “comprising” means “including, but not limited to.” Those familiar with the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein which equivalents are also intended to be encompassed by the claims.
Further, the particular features presented in the dependent claims can be combined with each other in other manners within the scope of the invention such that the invention should be recognized as also specifically directed to other embodiments having any other possible combination of the features of the dependent claims. For instance, for purposes of claim publication, any dependent claim which follows should be taken as alternatively written in a multiple dependent form from all prior claims which possess all antecedents referenced in such dependent claim if such multiple dependent format is an accepted format within the jurisdiction (e.g. each claim depending directly from claim 1 should be alternatively taken as depending from all previous claims). In jurisdictions where multiple dependent claim formats are restricted, the following dependent claims should each be also taken as alternatively written in each singly dependent claim format which creates a dependency from a prior antecedent-possessing claim other than the specific claim listed in such dependent claim below.
This completes the description of the preferred and alternate embodiments of the invention. Those skilled in the art may recognize other equivalents to the specific embodiment described herein which equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the claims attached hereto.
